Neuvirth (concussion) is available to be picked up by Vegas in the expansion draft.

The Flyers elected to protect prospect Anthony Stolarz, but left Neuvirth and fellow veteran netminder Steve Mason available for the Golden Knights. The decision indicates that even if Neuvirth isn't selected, it is only a matter of time until he will have to compete with Stolarz for playing time. The 29-year-old is likely on Vegas' radar, as general manager George McPhee was in charge of the Capitals when they selected him in 2006.
